Mild alternative ecotourism and multi-activity in rural areas, in order, the visitor to visit the place, the cultural elements, rural occupations, local products, come in contact with nature and the various activities in the countryside.

This 19th century traditional home is located in the village of Merona in the “Paggaliana” neighbourhood and to reach it you walk through some narrow streets surrounded by huge rocks.
Built in traditional village style it has been recently renovated with natural materials such as wood and stone and has kept the original door-locks with interior soft furnishings of hand-woven materials dating back some 200 years.
Built upon 100m2, there is a courtyard complete with a traditional stone oven and the outside stairway leads you up onto the veranda offering one of the most spectacular views over the countryside of Amari and to Psiloritis mountain.
Ground floor was once the stable, store room and an area for treading the grapes is now renovated into a sitting room, kitchen, and WC all decorated in traditional style with stone floors and wooden beams. There is also a large fireside. An outside stairway takes you up to the first floor which accommodates 2 bedrooms each with its own private en-suite bathroom and fireplace.
Facilities include TV, Internet, Hydromassage, central heating. Daily maid service is available.
Over and above the unique atmosphere, my mother Mrs. Eleftheria will help give the visitor a village life experience by discovering the different lifestyle, customs and traditions of the region and dietary habits dominated by the use of olive oil, local herbs, vegetables and whole meal bread.
Guests can also visit nearby attractions of Amari such as antiquities Monastiraki (4Km), Ancient Sivritou (3,5 Km), Asomatos (5Km), Arkadi (9Km), Ancient Eleftherna (15Km), the beautiful villages of Amari, or a little farther Phaistos (40Km), Knossos, Mt. Psiloritis following the E4 hiking trail or the surrounding mountains. In case guests wish to go to the beach it is about a forty minute drive, either towards the Northern coast of Rethymno or to the South as well as visit neighboring beaches of southern Crete Moni Preveli, Plakia, Triopetra, St Paul , etc.

As soon as we arrived Manolis greeted us with such warmth and friendship that I knew we'd found the right place for a week of rest. The house itself is beautifully and tastefully constructed and decorated in the traditional style and is located so that a panoramic view across the valley to the huge mountain of Psiloritis can be seen from the balcony rooftop. It was such a relaxing place, especially with Manolis' mama coming round with home cooked food many mornings and we felt like part of the village life. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Manolis' Eco House to anyone looking for somewhere quiet and relaxing to spent a few days or longer. Its a great base to explore some of the southern beaches and its also really easy to get to Rethymnon in the north. Having a car is essential though.

We spent 4 days in Manolis' house and they were incredible. The house is well furnished with taste and humility, in a traditional but beautiful way. We have been welcomed by a whole village, and felt part of the local life since day one! Every day we had the surprise of a new cooked surprise from Manolis' mother, who discreetly put it in the garden. We never have been so warmly and generously welcomed. Meronas as a small village but has 2 tavernas and a great restaurant, it is in the middle of the mountains and a lot of walks, and visits can be done from there. I couldn't imagine having missed this house in our trip. Thanks again to you Manolis and to your family and friends around who made our stay so special :)

The house is situated in a quiet and peaceful village called Kissou Kambos in the Southern Rethymno greater area. The nearest town is Spili at 4km away where you can find a supermarket, ATM, pharmacy and cafes and restaurants. The house is in an ideal location if you are looking to escape the tourist crowds but you are still close to the famous beaches of the Libyan Sea. Triopetra, Agios Pavlos, Ligkres, Agia Fotia are about 15-20km away while Plakias, Ammoudi, Souda and Preveli are about 25-30km away.
• • Visiting Southern Rethymno. What to expect
• Beaches- Driving along the winding roads one feels here as though heading into the wild in a land far removed from mass tourism. Between the seaside village of Aghia Galini in the east and the beach of Peristere to the west there are numerous long, broad beaches to discover. Some are sandy, others covered in smooth, gray pebbles, but all are lapped by deep, clean waters.
Three imposing rocks jutting out of the sea give Triopetra its name, a beach that could fit 15,000 people but is rarely frequented by more than 100. A perfect place to unroll one’s yoga mat and meditate to the sound of the sea.Ligkres is famous for its sunset while wild Aghios Pavlos also offers ample space to get away from it all.
Here at the top of the cliffs you can see as far as the island of Gavdos, Greece’s southernmost point. Preveli, is very popular but worth a visit for its incredible natural beauty and a swim where the river Kourtalioti meets the sea.Overall southern Rethymno is great for those looking to find a remote stretch of sand away from thumping beach bars and jabbering crowds. That said, for those looking for resort-style amenities the beaches at Plakias and Aghia Galini have you covered.
• Home style cooking- Here it is all about simple food made with fresh, local ingredients (and when we say ‘local’ we mean ‘from the garden right behind you’). Think dishes like fresh beans cooked in tomato sauce, or organic goat with root vegetables. Here you’ll also see a fisherman pull his catch from the waters of the Gulf and take it straight to the kitchen, as happens in Aghia Fotia, a taverna seemingly untouched by time built right on the shore. Much of the produce is grown just out back. Incredible food for incredibly reasonable prices.
• Treks and trails - The Kourtaliotiko Gorge is one of the most beautiful in Crete and walkable via a trail that runs 2km along the side of the river until reaching the beach of Preveli and its palm grove. For a trail with a more barren, wind-swept beauty, try the hike from Agia Fotia to the beach of Triopetra. Meanwhile horseback riding is also available with trails cutting through olive-groves and crossing streams, while for children donkey rides are also available.
For a walk through a charming village try Spili, where you can refresh yourself after a walk through the stone-paved alleys with the water from the Lion Fountains, an impressive row of 25 carved lion heads. Or visit the Preveli Monastery which played an important role in Crete’s revolutionary war in 1866.
• The feasts- In August the biggest such ‘panigyria‘ take place in the villages Mixorouma, Kerame, Aktounta, Akoumia, Spili and Lambini. Cretan folk music may not feature heavily in your everyday playlists, but it is still very much worth attending one of these events where you can mingle with the locals, and those who have left for bigger cities but still return every summer. Make sure to accompany your drinks with grilled meat or the traditional ‘gamopilafo‘ (literally ‘wedding rice’), a dish made of rice and goat which is traditionally served at celebrations.

Grandpa's house is ideal for those who want to experience mountainous village life, a bit of isolation from 'modern life' and wild Cretan nature, while being a few kilometer's away from some of Crete's best beaches!

1.THE VILLAGE
The house is located in the small scenic village of Kato Saktouria, southern Rethymno. Kato Saktouria is a mountain village near the beach (!), set on a mountain slope with a panoramic view to the Libyan Sea! For this reason it is nice throughout the year...
The house is only 10 minutes drive to the nearest beach of Agios Pavlos, 15 to 20 minutes drive to the beautiful beaches at Triopetra and Akoumia and 15 minutes drive to the resort of Agia Galini.
As the village is quite high up it enjoys cooler temperatures during the summer months sometimes as much as 5 degrees less than those villages along the coast and at sea level, which makes it very pleasant. The sunsets are quite spectacular and in the winter one can see the snow capped Psiloritis in the horizon.
The nature around the village is typical Cretan and we suggest you take one of the mountain paths down the river, where you will discover old abandoned villages and churches. On your walk you might see local women collecting wild Horta (greeneries, looking like wild spinach), snails or mushrooms. The land around Saktouria is actually famous for its wild mushrooms (picked during November) and horta, which we eat a lot in Crete. However, do not attempt to pick them yourself and consume them if you don’t know them…if you insist on doing it, we suggest you take your bag to a grandma in the village to separate the ‘good’ from the ‘bad’ greens (this is serious, you might get poisoned!)
Kato Saktouria is approximately a two hour drive to the airport in Heraklion and one hour to the city of Rethymnon on the north coast. The nearest bus service from Rethymno and Heraklion is to Agia Galini, where you will also find several rent a car, super markets, souvenir shops, bars, taverns, medical center, ect.
2.THE HOUSE
The house is a renovated old house where the family of our great-grand father once lived! You will see the patriarch on a photo-portrait by the fireplace, along with folk art paintings around the walls.
The house is simple and basic, ideal for those who want to live as the locals do (without the tv though!)
There are no separate rooms in the house.
The ground floor is basically the bedroom (two single beds that can be connected into one if needed) where the bathroom also is. There is an old closet where you will find clean sheets to use on your beds.
The first floor, where the main entrance to the house is, is the living room and kitchen with a fireplace. There is enough space to place two extra mats (with or without truckle beds…they are both stored in the ground floor). So, four people can sleep in beds, and a fifth on the couch (which we must admit should not be very comfortable!)
On the main entrance there is a nice patio where you can sit during the summer, drinking your morning coffee or having your lunch (the chairs and tables are stored inside the living room). There you will also find wood for the fireplace, if you come in winter.
The fireplace is great for cooking, and the house also has a fridge, small stove, kitchen appliances (plates, glasses, pots, ect), sheets for the beds and cd player.
You will find soap and toilet paper in the bathroom. And finally, the house comes with a bottle of homegrown organic olive oil, Greek (Turkish) coffee and sugar and possibly some raki, all which are yours to consume!
In the one and only café in the village you will find some basic stuff, such as coffee, sugar, beers and raki.
The nearest super market is in Agios Pavlos. Plus, every couple of days a van comes in the morning (you will notice it, it plays loud Cretan music!), which is actually a store in wheels, selling bread and vegetables, sometimes eggs, milk, honey, ect.
Why you will love this house? It is located in a strategic place where you can easily access some of the most beautiful beaches of the region (agios pavlos, triopetra, ligkres and preveli) while at the same time it is on the mountain where you can walk, discover abandoned villages, monasteries and the wild nature of Crete. It is also easy to access the mainland of Crete from here, and the resort of Agia Galini. In other words, it is a peaceful refuge that offers many options!
AND SOME PRACTICAL INFO:
- You will find parking quite easily. The village is very small, so if you don’t find a parking space right outside the house, you can just drive a little bit further and park in the open space in the village entrance.
- Please leave the house as you found it, which basically means do some basic cleaning, and do not forget to take out the garbage!! The garbage bins are just a few meters away, after the church.
- Very important: when you leave close the window blinds as the wind might destroy them!
- Very very important: if you use the fireplace make sure there is no sign of fire when you leave the house… we would also appreciate it if you throw away the ashes and burned woods.
- There is no internet :)
That’s all….Enjoy grandpa’s house!
WE DO SPECIAL PRICES IF YOU WANT TO RENT IT FOR A MONTH OR MORE...!

Relaxing and spacious holidays for 2 to 4 people in a traditional stone house with lush gardens and impeccable views of the Libyan Sea

Nestled privacy and green, Villa Estella is a 120 sq. m., two-level, traditional stone home ideal for families or friends 2 to 4persons.

On the first (ground) level, there are a spacious dining room ,the kitchen and large outdoor spaces where you can enjoy your breakfast or any meal al fresco, relax while listening to the chirping of the birds or swim in your private pool while admiring the panoramic sea views.
Two steps away you will find two bedrooms (one with a large-size bed and ensuite bathroom and the other with two single beds and bathroom).
Just a ten minute/3km drive from villa Estella is the wonderful Triopetra Beach which is, in effect, two beaches separated by a small peninsula facing three majestic rocks rising up from the sea; overlooked by the ancient chapel of Profitis Ilias, Koumado has a few tavernas and sun shades for hire while the larger beach, Chatzi, offers more tavernas and famously picturesque sunsets. The fine sands wander westward for several kilometres offering magnificent views to the Lefki Ori mountains, great for a leisurely stroll or perhaps a scenic drive along the small coastal road which zig zags inland now and then around river valleys and other natural topography. En route, why not stop at sleepy Ligres, home to a couple of very highly regarded tavernas offering delicious local dishes in a delightfully unspoilt environment, or maybe the tiny hamlet of Agia Fotini with a couple of equally appealing tavernas and quiet bays ideal for snorkelling (the South coast of Crete famously offers some of the clearest water in Greece).
Averaging over 2800 hours of sunshine per year, southern Crete is a fascinating region with unique flora, fauna and birdlife (African swallows can be seen almost all year round) and so many wonderful beaches (Frangokastello,Plakias, Preveli and Aghia Gallini to name but a few). All of this, combined with the balmy weather means a visit to this laid back and soothing corner of Greece is sure to surprise and delight
" Location and Area Attractions: In the magnificent beach of Triopetra (3km) you will find two taverns. In the next village, Akoumia (6km) you can find coffee shops and a petrol station. Nearby, in Spili (10km) you have access to mini markets, taverns, cafes, post office, bank and a health center. The beautiful coastal town of Ag. Galini has a greater variety of tourist amenities and is situated 15 km away. For nature-loving people who want to spend a relaxing and peaceful holiday. For the most outgoing, the vibrant city of Rethymnon is about 38km away.i

Amazing villa, amazing view, great hosts. Stelios was super cool and welcoming, highly recommended. The villa has a fantastic view and pool. Close to Triopetra beaches which are also terrific.

It was a bit hard to find but the house had everything we had hoped for. It was located in the mountains but with the beaches nearby and with great sea views and lovely villages within reach. Stelios was an extremely friendly host who did everything to make us feel at home.

Staying at Stelios' was very nice. It's so quiet. Nature. Beautiful garden. View on the sea on one side and the mountain on the other side from the swimming pool. Close to a very nice and quiet beach, to a Taverna we went many times. I highly recommend.

Three-Rock is a very special studio just two hundred meters from the -perhaps- most beautiful beach of Crete. You get everything you want to feel like home plus this extraordinary Triopetra (three rock) beach.

Three-Rock is a very special studio just 250 metres from one of the most fabulous beaches of Crete.
There is a double bed and also two more traditional sofa beds made of stone. We have provide of course to about towels and sheets and there are more linen in the closet.
There is a refrigerator, stove with oven, washing machine, toaster, coffee maker. The kitchen is fully equipped with plates, glasses etc. The water is drinkable. You can use everything that is in the kitchen.
There is a table of six people and chairs inside the studio and another one on the back terrace. The windows are double glazed and two of them have a screen. For heating there is a portable heater and stove and of course there are two fans even if it's always cool inside the studio. There is a cot available for babies. There is also a TV, DVD player, CD player and library with Greek and foreign books. In the bookcase you can find books, cd’s and dvd’s.

There are several places to visit in a relatively short distance: picturesque villages, beaches and mountains suitable for hiking, with many endemic plants. Be aware though that the beach Triopetra has too many places to explore. Most visitors prefer the central part (with umbrellas), others go on the east side (on the rocks and cave) but we advise you to proceed and on the west side where a series of small rocks protect you even when strong south wind blows. Very close to the Three-Rock studio, just fifty meters, you can reach Akoumianos river -with enough water in the winter but very small in summer. It is nevertheless an enjoyable ride. Even more, an important attraction is the beach at sunset, which will definitely want to see again and again ...
